Q&@
SWAY OVER
THE FOREST ANIMALS;
Little Red Riding Hood tries
to evade the Big Bad Wild Wolf;
and little Mowgli bravely confronts Shere Khan
the tiger. But in reality, they are no longer there... Our televisions,
books, fantasies and nightmares are still full of them, but the Simbas, Shere Khans &
Big Bad Wolves of our planet are disappearing? The world is (over)populated mainly by humans and
their domesticated animals! How many wolves live today in Germany, the land of the Grimm brothers,
Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf? Less than a hundred?! (And even these are mostly Polish
wolves that stole over the border in recent years.) In contrast, Germany is home to 5 million domesticated
DÒGS! Altogether about 200,000 wild wolves still roam the earth, but there are more than 400 million Do-
mesticated Dogs! The world contains 40,000 lions compared to 600 million House Cats; 900,000 African Buf-
falo versus 1.5 billion Domesticated Cows; 50 million pinguins & 20 billion chickens. Since 1970, despite our
Growing Ecological Awareness, wildlife populations have halved (not that they were prospering in 1970)! And
in 1980 there were 2 billion wild birds @ Europe; in 2009 only 1.6 billion were left?! But in the same year, the
Europeans raised 1.9 billion chickens for their meat and eggs! At present, more than 90% of the large animals
of the world (i.e. those weighing more than a few kilograms) are either húmans or domesticated animals! Our
scientists still like to divide the history of Our Planet into fabulous epochs such as f.i. the Pleistocene, the Plio-
cene & the Miocene? Officially, we live in the Holocene epoch! Yet it may be better to call the last
70,000 years the Antropocene Epoch: thé epoch of humánity? For during these millennia
HOMO SAPIENS becáme thé Single Most Important Agent
of change in the global ecology with its
economistic religions, fanatic
ideologies &
fads!!
